The films description appeared authentic and catchy in theory, but after viewing, the execution of these characters and their situations unfolding; all together sat on the line of try-hard and unnecessary tragicness. There was a lot of odd dialogue/sense of comedy (for those with an acquired taste I'm sure) and unexplained, random and pointless scenes that felt like intermissions in between happenings. Judging by this film, I'm not sure if adults having casual romantic interest/intercourse with minors is normal in Berlin after a certain age but it sure was portrayed as something casual and not a big deal for both parties involved here.. it was even joked about. There really isn't a plot here, and when movies are shot with the intention of walking the viewer through a characters journey with action based storytelling, they usually follow some sort of organized plot line (the best ones do). But perhaps the director was telling different stories in one, or a true story of some sort? Who knows. All I know is this film left me utterly confused and quite discomfited as events came just as quick and dramatic as they went.
